I often get asked to take photos of various knitting projects. This project was no exception. The shawl itself is beautiful, but I was even more delighted at how lovely this photo of it came out.

Homemade driveway paints and a child’s creativity are a great combination. The kids had a great time making their art, and I think they had just as much fun showing it off.

Took a few shots of the chickens the other night when I went to close up the coop. Their curiosity of me and the camera was really entertaining.

Dorothy at the local ski area on a recent winter evening. Spedlite set to 1/128 power to give just enough fill.

The last thing I do before heading to bed is to grind the coffee for the morning. I had just refilled the hopper of the grinder and used the speedlite bounced off the ceiling to light this bed of brown beans.
